Kylie Minogue has opened up about about her new album, revealing it is inspired by "a little bit of heartbreak".
The pop superstar also described her upcoming collection as "super positive and inspiring" in a new interview with The Sun following her split from fiance Joshua Sasse earlier this year.
“In the last year, there’s been some of that, but we bounce back," she said. "Most of it is super positive and inspiring, as a note to self as much as anything else. I’m feeling great right now."
Kylie has been recording her latest album in Nashville, a process she described as "cathartic", adding: "It was good. In the studio it’s a slightly weird concept to be spending seven, eight, nine hours in a room with people sometimes you don’t know. If you’re working with good people it’s the perfect place to deal with stuff."
After spending much of 2017 recording new music, the star revealed much of the album came together during her two-week trip to Nashville.

"I did a lot of work on the album before that but Nashville had a profound effect on me. The songs are very storytelling and story-based. It was so great to do things a little bit differently.”
The newspaper reports Kylie will release the record's first single in January 2018 with album to follow shortly after, while the singer insisted: "There will be shows next year for sure. I can’t wait to perform again.”
Kylie has notched up an impressive 15 Top 10s on the Official Albums Chart in her 30-year career, five of which have reached Number 1.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release a DANCE song as your first single!!! Not a slow, creative ballad! I love Kylie but whomever choses her singles should be totally fired! Her albums are always are always incredible and she's a fabulous performer and live singer....I hope they promote this album like the Princess she is!

I am soooooooo excited!!! The new single/album/tour can't come quick enough! I'm hopefully for another Top 40 single. It's felt like an age since 'Into The Blue' reached number 12! It'll be 4 years next year, since Kylie last troubled the Top 40....and 7 years since her last Top 10! (Higher with Taio Cruz - Number 8 in 2011). Anyhoo, whatever happens....just to have new music is enough for me!

I can't wait for a new album and a new tour, I'm obsessed with Kylie and her music, she always delivers.

I hope that the new label does something to enable her to have a UK number one single. If they are willing to lose some money going old school and hyping up a physical single that matches up with the release week of the digital, the Kylie fan base would come out in force and it would revitalize her brand in so many ways. A number one single would also get her the best press coverage since at least 2010 and lead to more full nights at O2, etc. tarotworldtour.wordpress.com

If this info is correct, they are releasing her new single in January, a notoriously quiet month in the music industry. So if they want some attention, this is probably the right move, cause she won't have much competition in January. However, I doubt very much Kylie will have another big hit single. No 1 album yes but not a single. Only because her fan base are mostly over 35s and I guess most of us are not so much into single releases anymore. Just look at Steps. Massive album , massive sold out tour , not one big single hit! But does it matter? I always feel like the single charts belong to those young things that I don't even know the name of ! 😂

Over 35? Over 25 maybe but to say over 35 is to ignore all the kids and young teens who were hit by the Fever era

I feel like her album will be a success but her singles might not, people like Madonna etc. seem to do terrible with their singles but ok with their albums. It's the tour I hope her label are willing to put money into, the Kiss Me Once Tour was great but it was cheap and low budget compared to her previous tours such as the Aphrodite Tour.

What's interesting is that the older the artist and fanbase, the bigger the unit sold and the more distant they get from the single. Kids buy singles or downloads, those slightly older CDs, and then the older crowd drops huge money on concert tickets - of course there are millions of exceptions but this is the pattern. I think it is worth subsidizing a top single though because basically you lose money on them in the short run as I understand it and of course in the US the singles chart is really rigged.

I liked the tour a lot but yes it just missed the mark in a lot of ways except the 80s medley.

Have you been to a Kylie concert ? Predominately over 35s ! Even after Fever!
George Whittle
I have and I was 24 at the time (2014) and there were plenty people my age at the standing area. Not saying there aren't a lot of over 35s but it's not mostly them.
